Using version 1.7.4

Code:
$reader = 
PHPExcel_IOFactory::createReaderForFile('http://www.eia.gov/dnav/ng/hist_xls/N30
50PA3m.xls');

Result:
Could not open http://www.eia.gov/dnav/ng/hist_xls/N3050PA3m.xls for reading! 
File does not exist.

Looks like it's failing in PHPExcel_Reader_Excel5::canRead(), when it calls 
file_exists() on an URL.

Is this even possible? I mean, converting the reader so that it can use URLs 
instead of local files?
